Health insurance, social security

"I pay health insurance and social security contributions."

"I pay for health insurance and social security contributions."

I think the first sentence is the correct one, but I came across both of them. That's why I'm befuddled.

You pay the contributions. You do not pay for the contributions.

The only way I can see the second sentence possibly being used is if you are paying indirectly, e.g. giving someone else money so that they can pay their contributions.
